First Quarter Transit Ridership Down 2.6%

Nationwide transit ridership in March 2019 was 1.6 percent below March 2018, according to data released yesterday by the Federal Transit Administration. For what it’s worth, March 2019 had one fewer work day than March 2018. However, ridership for the first three months of 2019 was down 2.6 percent, so this year is not looking good for the transit industry.

March ridership grew in just eleven of the nation’s fifty largest urban areas, and first quarter ridership grew in fifteen. The biggest losers for the quarter were Milwaukee (-12.7%), Detroit (-11.9%), and Louisville (-11.0%). The biggest winners were Richmond (+16.5%), Dallas-Ft. Worth (+8.1%), and Tampa (+5.7%). Houston grew but by only 1.4 percent. Ridership in Seattle declined by 2.2 percent for the month of March and 2.4 percent for the first quarter.
